Fights where a fighter's eye swelled shut from a thumb...

Bramble said Rosario thumbed his eye when he got KO'd.

What's funny to me is that a lot of the guys who were so bent out of shape about people bringing up the possibility that perhaps Matthysse was thumbed despite no evidence supporting it (this has since been discredited given his injury and should be let go of by Matthysse fans) are some of the same people who were crying about the possibility of Angulo being thumbed by Lara despite no evidence supporting that.

Hypocrisy is a second language here in NSB.

I saw what caused Matthysse's swollen eye, it was a small, quick left hook on the inside. I would be surprised that something so small caused such a hematoma, but we are talking about the GARSH.

who cares if he was thumbed or not he was being outboxed from round 1

I wasn't specifically referring to one fight really but rather was using it as an example. Is there any fight where a thumb to the eye was clearly visible?

Naw it was a jab. Not saying thumb but def
Jab

The infamous "thumb to the eye" is sort of like bigfoot, elusive, and ultimately probably just a myth.

Or maybe more prevalent with the older, smaller gloves?

Please never score fights. Not even backyard fights.

at the time of the eye injury he was ahead on a lot of people's cards and at worst even on the others. so you were wrong. just admit it and never post again. no hard feelings.
